Comment Re:Started with the ousting of Brendan Eich (Score 1) 225

If I come to you and I say you either take a new position with a worse title and decreased pay or you can fired, and you choose to resign, is it fair to say you simply "quit" rather than were forced out or kicked?

Yes.

I'm not the OP, but I absolutely think this is the time when things start to go seriously wrong with the Mozilla orgs.

Eich stepped down in 2018, the problems started in 2012/2013, and came to a head in 2014 with the change in plug-in architecture. The two are absolutely and completely unrelated, and I just assume anyone who conflates 'woke' with Mozilla's problems is a complete and utter moron. By 2018, Mozilla was circling the drain.

He resigned, he wasn't forced out. And even if you argue that he was effectively forced out, it wasn't by 'some wokes in the Mozilla Foundation,' there was substantial public outcry and it was harming the Mozilla brand. Boycotts were in the works.

He perhaps WOULD HAVE been forced out, since Mozilla is a business, and Eich quickly became a poison pill. If you appoint a CEO that results in boycotts and lost profit, and then you remove him, are you being 'woke'? Or are you being a capitalist?

He wasn't forced out, and the reason for his ouster was common sense as applied to the bottom line. Not 'woke'

If this were because of 'wokeness' then Brendan Eich would have gone on to make a better browser. He did not, he made Brave instead

I understand that you're not interested in making coherent arguments, you're only here to spew nonsense, but since I've commented on this thread I can't mod you down, so I'm replying instead. Don't feel the need to respond, I won't take you seriously :)

They focus on things that don't matter, and they try way too hard to copy Chrome. I've been using Firefox for as long as it has existed, and it has been getting worse for years.

Fewer kids have [access to] guns now than they used to

The number of households with guns is continually shrinking [npr.org], and guns mostly went from being stored in drawers and cabinets to being stored in lock boxes and safes over the last century.

Your second assertion, even if true, does not support your first. That assumes that kids have access to guns primarily through their own household. Has a study been done that actually examines childrens' access to guns? I would argue that it's increased, as the ammosexual sect has gained traction and started putting guns under every pillow in their home, in every nightstand, etc.
